You are lucky they offered you a replacement. I have lived in Asia for 22 years and you’d be lucky to get anything back at all if you bought any product in Hong Kong nevermind a replacement.

I think they are amazing and I never had a problem. Perhaps it’s they way you handle them. My boyfriend cannot maintain any from Sennhauser to Shure but the AF ones not only sound amazing but look really sexy and chic too..

The day after posting my review the UK seller phoned and offered me a prompt refund – he said he has to ask permission from the manufacturer, which he stated was done via email (v strange).

Until they add flex to the jack I wouldn’t touch these mate.

In addition, the highs are too harsh which makes listening unpleasant after an hour of continuous music, the soundstage is tiny, and far too much sound leaks – passers by on the street can hear what you are listening to! The only plus points on the Drums is the bass.

You are better off getting a set of Senn IE6′s or Monster Turbines if you want the bass response with higher quality sound at a similar price. Or for iPhone/Blackberry use, I would suggest either Nu-Force NE-7M’s or saving for a set of Ultimate Ears triple.fi 10 VI’s.

Praxis

I purchased a set of earphones from the Atomic Floyd website in January.

Within 6 weeks the sound cut in and out from both speakers and I emailed Atomic Floyd requesting a refund.

The UK dispatcher initially replied stating that they normally offer replacements but for a refund he would have to check with the founder and come back to me.

After 3 weeks of me chasing for an update by email, I have heard no response.

This company are a joke and once they have your money, you are left with a set of earphones that will almost definitely break (due to the ‘cord to straight jack’ design).

Although the website suggests that they are a UK company (prices advertised in Sterling), they appear to be Hong Kong based and there is no ‘real’ customer support.

What a waste of £85
